  • HONOR CEO George Zhao has claimed that there’s no real foldable competition to the HONOR Magic V3.
  • The comment comes after HONOR compared the Magic V3 foldable to the iPhone during its IFA 2024 event.

HONOR just launched the Magic V3 globally in Berlin today as part of IFA 2024, and it’s the thinnest foldable phone in the world. The company spent its launch event comparing the new device to Apple’s iPhones instead of other foldable phones. And it turns out there’s a reason why the Chinese manufacturer was making this comparison.

HONOR CEO George Zhao told journalists that the company only compared the Magic V3 to the iPhone during its launch event because there was “no real competitor” when it came to foldable phones.
